[Printers] Minolta MagiColor 2210

[Eduardo Luís]

So, looking into your pattern, it looks the same as Epson Aqualaser C1900.
Like I said in older e-mails, this one has the same columns ans rows, and it
prints every same pattern in different days. So, it looks that there is no
time/date printed there.

Assunto: [Printers] Minolta MagiColor 2210

I have access to a Minolta MagiColor 2210, and have posted a scan of a test
page at http://www.pedantic.org/~mike/printers/, along with HTML and ASCII
representations of the dot pattern.

The pattern is 24 dots wide and 16 dots long.  Horizontally, it repeats
without gaps.  Vertically, it repeats without gaps but shifted to the right
8 dots.  I do not know where the pattern "starts", so the HTML and ASCII
representations may be misleading in that respect.

I have printed several test pages on different days, and there does not
appear to be any time- or usage-variability to the pattern.  The printer
does not seem to have a serial number available through the built-in HTTP
server or printed on the front or sides.  The printer does have an ethernet
MAC address, which may be what it's encoding.  However, the ethernet card
appears to be removable and may just be an option, so it seems more likely
that there is a serial number of some kind that it is using.

If anyone has any questions, or has seen any other printers with a 24x16
pattern, please let me know.
